Denmark proper is a monarchy consisting of a peninsula (Jutland) and 443 islands lying to the north of Kiel. There are also the Faeroe Islands and Greenland. But the Danish West Indies, a some-time colony, no longer figure.
Population: six million
Language: Danish
Capital: Copenhagen
Monarchs:
Christian IX: 1963 to 1906
Frederick VIII: 1906 to 1912
Christian X: 1912 to 1947
Frederick IX: 1947 to 1972
Margrethe II: 1972 to the present day
In the sixties of the last century Denmark was a great draw for British homosexualists, who were still subject to imprisonment by poisonous prudes. Such prudery was not at all the case in Denmark, where homosexualism was encouraged. The age of consent there is now fifteen years.
Modern monetary system:
100 Øre = 1 Krone
[PLEASE NOTE: I have found three serious problems with the assembly of my Danish catalogue:
1) Several of the smaller older coins have illegible dates. This is not particularly the result of wear, but simply because the dates are too small and badly struck. My microscope is no help with such cases:
***
2) During the second great war Denmark produced many coins in zinc, the detail of which has simply evaporated over time. (I did not store them in air-tight packets.) I don't like these ugly zinc coins and will either throw them away or sell them for a few pence.
***
3) Whole ranges of the most modern 1 and 2 Øre coins are now missing. I don't at present know why, but I expect they will turn up eventually. In 1997 a water-heater exploded in the cupboard in which the coins were kept, and that may have something to do with their absence.]
